I dont know about SSA's methods, but I wouldnt hesitate to use it for hunting, target shooting and training. However, for ammo used to protect my life, id take xm193 over something with better terminal ballistics that doesnt have the insurance behind it. In my book, reliability and training is #1 and 2. Everything else is FAR behind. There are plenty of options out that offer great terminal performance(for 5.56/.223) and are made to work under worst case conditions to give that up. A little bigger TC doesnt outweigh peace of mind IMO.

Again I dont know what ssa does and doesn't do, and I'm no professional, I'm just sharing my personal views on it as something to think about.
